Delivering wind energy projects that are genuinely welcomed by communities and ecosystems requires more than meeting minimum standards. This session explores the environmental, social and regulatory aspects of project performance, and what it takes to build wind farms that leave a lasting positive legacy. 

Presentations will examine how well-planned renewable energy projects can support regional housing and communities; the growing importance of social value as a driver of project success; the implications of strengthened biodiversity protection laws for wind development and climate goals; and emerging approaches to achieving greater transparency and certainty in delivering net biodiversity gain under the EPBC Act.
